Rough Guide "Extravagantly styled and fashionable designer hotel, with twenty sumptuous rooms accessed by a wonderful spiral staircase, and with a tiny pool in the basement."
Michelin Guide Star
"It was at L'Hotel that the great Oscar Wilde died in 1900. The atypical, aesthetic decor, updated by Jacques Garcia, still manages to pay homage to artistic pomp and splendour."
Frommer's "Ranking just a notch below the Relais Christine , this is one of the Left Bank's most charming boutique hotels." Full review
Concierge "The glitterati and sophisticated couples keep this 20-room property booked solid, so reserve two to three months in advance for high-season accommodation."
Fodor's "There's something just a bit naughty in the air at this eccentric and opulent boutique hotel." Full review
Insight Guides "This legendary hotel has been redecorated by Jacques Garcia, but retains something of its old sense of decadence in the extravagant decor, cellar fumoir and mini swimming pool."
Travel + Leisure "Expect red brocade walls, floor-length silk draperies, oversize tassels, and ornate patterns covering every surface." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A riot of exuberance and opulence, this Jacques Garcia-designed hotel is gloriously decadent."
Time Out "For the ultimate sensuous, decadent Parisian trip with scintillating literary overtones, head for the sumptuous L’Hôtel in St-Germain-des-Prés." Full review
Star Service "Rising above the service and maintenance standards found at...the more modest boutique hotels in the neighborhood, this hotel offers adventurous and well-heeled travelers a unique living experience." Full review

Rough Guide "Palatial opulence in the style of Louis XVI, with unsurpassed vistas over Paris and superlative en suites."
Frommer's "This landmark lies between the place de la Concorde and the Grand Louvre, facing the Tuileries Gardens." Full review
Concierge "Le Meurice still has a vaguely decadent and artistic tone that sets it apart from other high-priced Parisian gilt trips."
Fodor's "Since 1835, the Meurice has welcomed royalty and celebrities... and Paris' first palace hotel continues to please with service, style, and views." Full review
Insight Guides "Elegant, 18th-century-style salons and a Michelin-starred restaurant are among the many assets of this historic grand hôtel."
DK Eyewitness "The Meurice is a perfect example of successful restoration, with excellent replicas of the original plasterwork and furnishings."
Time Out "With its extravagant Louis XVI decor, mosaic tiled floors and modish restyling by Philippe Starck, Le Meurice is looking grander than ever." Full review
Star Service "Reviled by some, beloved by others, this lavish wedding-cake-of-a-place is colored up with an ungodly amount of icing, its extravagant baroque sensibility teasing the best duds out of your luggage. " Full review
Gayot "Part of the prestigious Dorchester group, Le Meurice is one of Europe's most highly regarded hotels."
BlackBook "Reminiscent of a palace, offers spacious suites in the style of Louis XVI. Pricey amenities are worth every penny."
